Prof. S. B. Kandagal

Prof. S. B. Kandagal

CHIEF RESEARCH SCIENTIST

He is a Principal Research Scientist in the Structures & Materials group of the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. He obtained his B.E. and M.Tech. degrees from NITK, Surathkal, and completed his Ph.D. from IISc, Bangalore. With more than two decades of experience in academic research and advanced experimentation, his expertise lies in structural mechanics, structural dynamics, vibration and noise control, smart structures, experimental modal analysis, structural optimization, and piezoelectric-based energy harvesting. He has made significant contributions to the analysis and control of vibrations in aerospace structures, including the integration of smart materials such as piezoelectric sensors and actuators for sensing, control, and energy harvesting applications. Prof. Kandagal has published several research papers in reputed journals and conferences, actively collaborates on sponsored research projects, and has mentored postgraduate and doctoral researchers at IISc. His work bridges theoretical modeling, experimental validation, and practical aerospace applications, making him a key contributor to research and education in structural and materials engineering at IISc.
